What puzzles me most is that two days after the announcement of the vulnerability and the release of the patched Oracle JDK, there is still no patched version of OpenJDK for most distributions.
We're running some production services on OpenJDK and CentOS and until now there are only two options to be safe: shutdown the services or change the crypto provider to BouncyCastle or something else.
The official OpenJDK project lists the planned release date of 17.0.3 as April 19th, still the latest available GA release is 17.0.2 (https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDKUpdates/JDK+17u).
Adoptium have a large banner on their website and until now there is not a single patched release of OpenJDK available from them (https://github.com/adoptium/adoptium/issues/140).

ersion of OpenJDK 17.0.3 I've seen until now seems to be the Archlinux package (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jdk17-openjdk/). They obviously have their own build.
How can it be that this is not more of an issue? I honestly don't get how the release process of something as widely used as OpenJDK can take more than 2 days to provide binary packages for something already fixed in the code.
This shouldn't be much more effort than letting the CI do its job.
Edit: Typo.
